It took a while to learn what we learned 😮

jeudi 30 avril 2026 • Durée 18:43

Coffee shop culture, barista management, and employee retention — the real conversation most owners aren't having. Sam and Kailee break down what actually builds a strong coffee shop team: why communication is the root of almost every staff frustration, how menu changes land differently on the floor than on a spreadsheet, the dress code debate, and why there's no substitute for physical presence — or a trusted middleman. If you own a café and you're not in it every day, this one's for you.
